My stash skirt is coming along slowly because I had to frog several inches. I had a plan to increase the top portion and it just wasn’t working out. So I frogged out that section with the added stitches and started again. Since this is my own pattern I didn’t mind having to rip out stitches. Progress is slow but steady.

I’ve started a new project. It’s going to be a needle case. Sticking with the Knit From Your Stash theme I’m using the leftover yarn from my No Pattern Purse. I’m weaving it into plastic fabric.

This project is based on a needle case my mother had when I was a child. She disowned me when I was 18 so unfortunately I can’t ask her for help. Somehow working on this project is making me feel closer to my mom which is unexpectedly nice.

Plans for the needle case are as follows. I’m going to weave the yarn into the plastic fabric pieces and then sew them together. If I were to do it over again I’d leave one row on the side of each piece empty to weave them together. Then I’ll sew in fabric and add ties to hold it closed.
